    Hello!

    My name is Jennifer and I live in the North Dallas area. I'm a SAHM to a four-year old and a two-year old, with a Firecracker baby due on the Fourth of July! I've been doing preschool with my daughter for the past year or so, and got involved in a Homeschool co-op last fall, which we love! According to the birthdates, she's too young to start Kindergarten this fall, but she's such a smart little thing. So I'm going to start Kindergarten with her.

    I always pictured myself as a Homeschooling mama, even though I went to public school. But some of my best friends were Homeschooled, so I had a lot of exposure to it.

    I'm so thankful that I have other like-minded friends that are also planning to Homeschool! I felt alone in my journey, since my daughter is one of the oldest in our neighborhood playgroup. But it's been such a blessing to join the Homeschool co-op and meet other moms and families that have been down this path!

    I'm looking forward to reading about the different curriculum available. I've been a little overwhelmed with all the options. I'm a visual learner and I know something like the workbox system would help ME out. I'm still figuring out my daughter's learning style.

    Thankfully, the nice thing about Homeschooling is there is no one right way to do it.

    I'm excited to find this website! :love:
